I really don't even see what benefit he could have been getting from them. Melky has always been mentally deficient though, so this could very easily be a case of "I think they're helping me...so they must be!" Just Melky being Melky.
But they can help your bat speed in the sense they make your muscles recover quicker and fatigue over a season can wear you down.
